AN AGRICULl URAL STATION.

Last Wednesdays Bulletin contained
a short communication from Judge A.
A. Gunby urging the Importance upon
our people Of making and effort to
secure the location of an experimental
agricultural station here. AT the last
session Of Congress an appropriation OF
$l5, 900 was made to each State for the
purpose Of establishing such stations.
| AS Judge Gunby stated in bis
letter, there are already two. ex.-
detrimental farms receiving State aid,
one al Baton Rouge and one in the
sugar parishes, and it is just and right
that the money appropriated should
be used in North Louisiana. II seems
that tho administrators of the Agrl'
cultural and Mechanical College enter
tain similar views, for at meeting
held in Baton Rouge few days ago a
resolution was adopted TO the effect
that the station be established in n orth
Louisiana at a point to be hereafter
designated by the State Bureau OF
|
without a struggle and is a result OF
the good sense and justice of the ad
ministrators Of Louisiana's University
What concerns US now is to make sr
effort to have the station located in this
parish at or near Monroe. AS judge
u Gunby said, Monroe is the place wher'
~ the experimental farm should b.
y established. There are many reason
10 why it is: In the frs, place it is on
" of the most important towns in tn
State and the State 3 not representa-
- by any important public enterprise q

ty the State of its size has some such N
lie terest. Shreveport has been favore

COTTON FACTORY.

Tho readiness with which the mon
led mon of Monroe and Ouachita par
ish have taken hold of new Enterprises
within the past year or two bespeaks a
healthy confidence in the future OF our
ci,y and parish. 1t shows that no lit-
tie amout of capital has been lying
idle and that feeling of confidence
having been established, it is now
seeking Investment. The Ice Factory,
the Oh Mills, the Compress, the
Building Association, already estab-
lishcd, and two National Banks pro-
missed in the near future, is sure in
dica,ion of steady, solid material
growth. The success of the Enterprises
mentioned also demonstrates the fact
that Monroe is destined to be manu-
featuring centre. Its natural adVan~
tages In this particular have always
been conceded but amounted to naught
so long as our people depended upon
that fact as an attraction to enterprise
and capital. That "God Will heip
those who help themselves" is as true
as gospel, and we note with genuine
satisfaction and feelings of pride thai
our people have awakened to a reiiza'
ton of the fact and are helping them
selves.
But as our esteemed contemporar.

THE STATE DEBT AMENDMENT.

A'e~~>- i
The State Debt Amendment has been y
! subject of discussion by the State /
press for some time. Or more properly I
speaking it has been matter OF con- t
troversy between the papers of the
State that have taken sides In the
contest as between Gov.
McEuery and Gen: Nichols. Those
papers favoring Gen. Nichols can
didacy have properly charged that the
Amendment was an Infamous outrage
upon the people and that the present
administration was responsible for 1t.
Those papers that do not t'stand on the
outer wall' but are so fortunate as to
be within the magic Ring, do not cry |
out against the Amendment but defend
! It by the argument that If it is the
mopstrous evil that the Reform press
have pictured it, their own patriotic
and manned leader and candidate for
Governor, Gen. Nichols, endorsed and
supported it. If not begging the ques-
ton this is at least an attempt to SIDE"
tract the issue. But with this we have
nothing to do and care less about.
We simply want to have little say
about the Debt Amendment. Briefly
stated it is this: One of the legacies
handed down to us by corrupt Repub-
, lican officials was an enormous debt

Chamberlain, Oct. l3-It Is not

ahult in any serteas collision, although
the case is somewhat an aggraYating
one. Ii, seems that United States dep
aty surveyor Austin, with his. party OF
seven, camped for dinner near the mouth
OF White river. The party were on their
| way from Medicine creek, in Presho
county, to the south line OF Lyman
GO Rnty to make o survey extending the
base loe west. After dinner as the
party we're arranging TO cross the river
the Indians begun to gather end oidsr
the party to leave the reservation, and
for0iblY undertook to take the
teams from the party and
send them back on foot. One Indian
stood in frant of the team with an ak in
hia hands. The Oldest Indlan, being
one OF she ch1efs of the BruIe trIbe, said
the land should not be surveyed; that
they did mot care for the government or
any one elses that the land was theirs
aud they proposed the keep the survey
ors eway; shat they had thrown out
one agent and they could threw cat an
iother. There were from fifteen to TWEEN
ty Indians in the band. They were all
very nglyG nd seemed to deeiie a row.
This they could not get out of the sur
veying party, who returned to Lower
Brule and at once dispatched for Agent
Anderson at Grow Greek agency. Major
Anderson arrived here last night and
proceeded to the Lower Brule n
The Indians will no doubt be arrested
and punished.
